By Ellen Douglas Deland

Book Overview

Oakleigh is a novel written by Ellen Douglas Deland and published in 1895. The story follows the life of a young woman named Margaret Capen, who is forced to leave her home in Boston and move to the small town of Oakleigh after her father's death. Margaret struggles to adapt to her new surroundings and the expectations of the townspeople, who are suspicious of outsiders. She finds solace in the company of her cousin, Richard, who is also an outsider in Oakleigh. As Margaret and Richard become closer, they begin to uncover secrets about their family's past and the history of Oakleigh itself. Along the way, Margaret must confront her own fears and prejudices, and learn to navigate the complex social dynamics of small-town life. Oakleigh is a compelling tale of love, betrayal, and redemption, set against the backdrop of a rapidly changing America at the turn of the 20th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
